Star Wars Battlefront II Patch 0.2 Released, Resolves Known Issues

DICE has rolled out a new patch today and even though it is not what we wanted, it’s what we really needed. Ever since the company announced that they were disabling all microtransactions in the game to rebalance and rework it, we were waiting for a massive update to find out what it would be like. Instead, DICE announced Star Wars Battlefront II Patch 0.2, which brings tweaks and solutions to a few known issues that have been noticed in-game.

Now that Star Wars Battlefront II Patch 0.2 is live on PC, PS4 and Xbox One, DICE can start looking into the microtransactions feature which seems to be causing all kinds of problems to a, other than that, impressive game.
